Define a destillation

1.	Define a destillation
Answer» Distillation is a widely used method for separating the component substances from a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and condensation. To separate a mixture of liquids, the liquid can be heated to force components, which have different boiling points, into the gaseous state.In industrial chemistry, distillation is a unit operation of practically universal importance, but it is a physical separation process and not a chemical reaction. Distillation is used for many commercial processes, such as the production of gasoline, distilled water, xylene, alcohol, paraffin, kerosene, and many other liquids.
